Guess what a real high number multiplied with zero is?
Right. Zero. Another game that could be good ruined by willfully ignorant game designers, needlessly.
Which is why I give this zero stars, even though it will erroneously show as 1 star.
Solved for >25 years by physiology and math, some game makers continue to prefer to cobble together something until it adheres to their warped (no pun) aesthetic perception, with utter disregard for pesky things like ergonomics. "Artists" in ivory towers.
This is not just subjective taste, even though some game addicts will ignore it and get used to straining their eyes. The Field of View angle is unrealistically low, a lot, in this game, not adjustably.
My 16:10 screen is less wide than average, so it's not just a problem for extra-wide-screen owners.
This produces the impression of you running around with a zoom objective glued to your face all the time. The unnatural viewing experience is very straining on the eyes and probably even unhealthy.
Now the responsible sadists (producing a visually nice title but punishing you for looking at it) may argue all day long this is a "third person cam" and therefore need not have a natural FOV. Which would be silly, as playing such a game is still a human being exploring a world using direct camera orientation and movement controls, but happens to look at the rendered player character from a somewhat distant camera (which would, for sensible people, mean that the FOV was even wider, i.e. zoomed more OUT, not in, to see both the 3rd person player character with some distance and the surroundings.)
Gameplay:
Someone commented this title deviated from predecessors by requiring more stealth and more realism in that regard. That must then only hold true for higher difficulty than "normal", as I just played through a bunch of checkpoints like it was an action shooter without any trouble - other than the quickly accumulating eye strain, for which this is now removed from my system again.
I have tried all the fixes that was advised on the internet and still I can't make not even the benchmark to run, not even at the lowest graphical settings. I have well above the recomended (not the minimum) system requirements for this game. I was running on Windows 10 preety well even on a lowest specs PC but not now and till a patch will not fix this (looks like the developers have abandoned this game) I cannot recomended it, at least for those having installed a Windows 10 OS on theirs computers.
